It's back!

Superb entertainment. How on earth did the boys' team win? Why did the Sugar sack Bilyana?

Whenever there is a decent product on offer, the other team wins. Maybe this is partly to do with the very short time allocated to the task, so that if you put your efforts into designing a good product there isn't enough time left to do a good job on working out the profit margin and the best target market?

As to why Lord Sugar sacked Bilyana, I think he could tell from the way she behaved in the board room that there was no possibility of his ever working with her. That being the case, he might as well get rid of her straight away.

I think Bilyana did do quite a good job though, but she just wouldn't listen.

She was whingy and talked herself out of the boardroom!! At least she was suitably embarrassed in the after show programme! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Often that's the case : and unfortunately the girls gave no thought to profit margins etc. that doomed them really from the outset, despite a superior product.

As others have said, Bilyana talked herself out of it - Katie would've gone otherwise...

I can no longer get any enjoyment out of this programme. As for the candidates, in most of the series I wouldn't have employed any of them. Theyre clearly chosen as being 'best' for a TV series. Im not going to watch this time.

Can I join you in not watching, fsharpminor? What started out as a quasi-serious attempt to show how to be successful in business is now the same freak show as most so-called reality TV.

Well I still like it, treating it as light relief at the end of the day and not taking it too seriously. It's something I can watch and not have to think about it, which is great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) My OH is definitely in the f#m camp though, and last night took himself off into the dining room to read whilst I, son and daughter watched.

It's not something I've ever watched (don't do much telly) but my daughter wrote a good review of it:

I think it says something about this show that I have absolutely no interest in business whatsoever and I still enjoy the show!!

I think it's one of precious few 'reality' shows worth watching, and I think our version with Lord Sugar is far superior to the American Donald Trump version!
